Water evaporation from the 16 Tishrin reservoir in Syria: volume measurement and economic impact assessment

Purpose: to study the phenomenon of evaporation from 16 Tishrin reservoir in Syria and a comprehensive analysis its volume measurement with an economic consequence assessment. Materials methods. The used CHIRPS (Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation Station data) daily precipitation data, MODIS MOD16A2 (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) Sentinel-2 satellite data estimate area surface using algorithm MNDWI (Modified Normalized Difference Water Index) for period October 2021 September 2022. Using Microsoft Excel program, storage water levels it were determined each month hydrological year. Results. Results this provide important information about amount lost by Syria. total amounted 5.7 million cubic meters/year. This significant results losses estimated as $856,946.25/year. abovesaid highlights urgent need implement strategies minimize impacts optimize management. Conclusions. Understanding impact is critical effective By solving these problems making informed decisions based on calculated damage, possible increase preservation resources lower reaches Al Kabir Shamali river.
